Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 May 2025

Debate

UK-Europe Trade

Contribution

I am slightly worried that the question adds two and two and gets about 97. The Bill recognises that we have to find a way forward on standards with the European Union, but to try to overlay what is, as the shadow Minister says, a necessary and somewhat dry technical piece of legislation with the policy agenda that she alludes to is simply wrong.
